This hugget is amazing! I opted for the large Hugget, and it was such a great choice! It’s super soft and I absolutely love shoving my hands in it and find that it really helps to relieve my anxiety after work or while in the office. It gives me something to fidget with while watching tv and also a rest for my phone. I love it so much I’ve been taking it to the office with me on days I work there. It’s perfect weight for my lap. It is an excellent seat gap filler since I never sit back in my chair. My coworkers were intrigued and had to touch and hug it. One asked so is that your new comfort pillow? Yes, it is my new comfort pillow. I love my large Hugget so much that I’m going to order the other sizes to have in the office, as I love it so much!!

I got this because I wanted something to keep my hands busy. I have become recently unable to keep focus very long and thought this could help with that. I went with this, despite the cost, because of the quality and its weighted ( i could find anything online cheaper that was weighted). The ball is a lot more stiff than I thought it would be but because of this there is a lot of pressure in between the, strands we’ll call them?, when you put your hands in it. So it really keeps your hands in place maybe a little too firmly for my liking. Although it was fun to walk around acting like a kid pretending to bust doors down. All in all, this was really helpful for me last night so may update the review at some point. Little bit pricey and I wish there were heavier options but I value my mental health and am lucky enough to be to afford it so im glad I got it.

So to cut to the quick, I was skeptical that this little knot pillow would provide any sense of comfort or be anything more than an interesting throw pillow. After a bit of use, I can’t say that I am fully convinced that it makes me feel more soothed, but I did find it very easy to thoughtlessly keep ahold on the thing while I was watching TV.
In my experience, it starts off feeling a bit awkward – a big knotty lump that you’re kind of rolling around your stomach/lap. For me, it certainly wasn’t comfortable as a neck rest or napping pillow, so the only logical choice was to just *hold* it. Within a short amount of time, I noticed my hand had made its way between the folds of the knot and into the center – allowing me to have a more natural and ergonomic hold on the thing. Perhaps not a full “hug”, but certainly more of an extension of my natural posture. It wasn’t long before I was less mindful of the fact I was holding this knotted ball and, from that standpoint, it did become a bit more relaxing. I can certainly see how this could be soothing to some – particularly those on the autism spectrum. The pillow is soft, has a slight weight, and does kind of grip you once you sink into it. I feel this could provide a level of sensory calmness that might be helpful. For me, the level of calm wasn’t a whole lot different from what I would get by just holding a regular throw pillow while sitting/reclining. And given this is an exceptionally expensive pillow, for me it is hard to justify that cost.
I do like that the Hugget purports to be made of plant-based organic and sustainable materials, but was not as happy that it has an exceptionally strong foam rubber smell when unpacked that lasted for over a week. In fact, we have the pillow in our media room and you can still smell the foam rubber as soon as you walk in. It is not a terribly unpleasant smell, but distinctly one of memory foam mattresses. I would recommend letting it outgas at least a few days after unpacking.
Suffice-to-say, I’m a bit mixed on this pillow. I can see where it might have a purpose, but it is quite a bit on the pricey side. If you get one, you’ll probably want to start using it right away, but you could be overwhelmed by the strong foam rubber odor. So it’s a bit of a toss-up. If you are (or know) someone who will be soothed by a large, weighted, huggy knot ball, my guess is that you’re not going to be terribly disappointed with this thing. For me, it is a bit more of a novelty that will get occasional use once the rubber smell has subsided.

My introduction to the Hugget was when I purchased a Medium Hugget as a birthday gift for my friend. The birthday recipient liked the darker grey hugget and specifically called out how smooth the fabric was. She also said that it seemed to help her feel less anxious throughout the day, so I was intrigued. I decided to get myself a medium Hugget and loved the color as it works perfectly with my decor. Now that I’ve had the chance to try it out for myself, the verdict is in: this is the BEST PURCHASE I’ve made all year!
Seriously feeling less anxious with this Hugget by my side throughout the day. It’s great to squish and snuggle my hands in while on WFH calls, and it fits comfortably in my lap. Given how incredible the medium size has been and how nicely it fits on the couch, I just placed an order for the large, which I think will fit just right on my bed.

I am loving both my medium and Large Hugget. Both sizes are great to help relieve stress, and the large one is also perfect to sleep with (along with my Cotton Napper). I am a side sleeper, and like to have something to hold and squeeze during the night, so the Hugget is absolutely perfect for me! The gentle weight feels great when resting on my chest, and I also use it when watching TV, or even on car rides when I don’t have my Napper on hand as it really helps me to feel calm.

My elementary school son has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, and he’s always struggled to sit still, especially in the evenings after a long day in the classroom. Usually when the whole family sits down to watch something, he’s in and out of the room the whole time — we don’t mind, but he doesn’t like missing out on the show! The Hugget ended up being the perfect object for him to squeeze or hug while watching movies, and it helps him focus and relax on the couch. It’s so much more cuddly than the other sensory tools he’s tried like fidget spinners or stress bands. We’re planning to buy a few more so that our daughters don’t feel left out!

I have used the knot pillow ball for yoga and meditation practices mostly and find the weight and size (large) perfect for those activities. I have the weighted blanket for sleeping and it is amazing so haven’t used the knot for sleep. I do pull it out for tv time and find it comfy.
